BH-W vs AS-W Dream11 Prediction
Can Brisbane Heat overcome Adelaide Strikers in the BH-W vs AS-W knock-out game?
This is expected to be a close encounter, considering the two teams finished third and fourth in the table. Previously in the competition, the two teams have won once and lost once to each other. But given they will be playing at home, the Strikers would carry some advantage heading into this one.
